Pizza Sauce #1

Ingredients

• 4 cups canned whole plum tomatoes (San Marzano)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4-6 cloves garlic, finely chopped and sauteed
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• A handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped
• Pinch of black pepper

The Build

1. Add oil to a medium-hot pan. Sautee garlic slowly until soft, but not brown.
2. Pour a can of tomatoes into the pan and use your hands or a masher to crush them down
3. Add the remaining ingredients, then simmer on low for 20-35 min., or until the flavor has deepened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. Sauce may be used immediately, but I prefer to make in the day before, save in an airtight container and reheat the on pie day.
